A couple of beautiful features of trolley buses: mmmm, lack of diesel fumes, yes, but also the sounds and slightly different rhythms. The light rattle and whine, the clack of switching cables, is much more interesting and comforting than the rumble and growl of diesel.

I'm sure the economics are interesting and fairly specific to different situations. Carry heavy batteries vs use infrastructure? The wire and trolley arm system is kind of primitive, but maybe cheap and otherwise reliable? Not as safe, one would think.

When I lived in Vancouver I enjoyed how bus drivers would sometimes have to jump out and wrangle the trolley connectors back onto their wires. Entertaining and slightly badass but I’m sure they didn't enjoy it as much.

I have had a Fenix E12 in my pocket at all times for the last eight years or so. I feel naked without it, but live in rural exurbia. I use it at work and home multiple times per day. One AA, easy to use, good balance of bright and longevity, tough, not bulky.

Rustad's special band of idiots wear maga hats in public. They almost got elected as a party and many of those quislings did get elected. Ouch.

Your current government problem is characterized by populism and ultranationalist frenzy driving fascist expansionism pointed right at us.

OK Jonny I guess you aren't friends with any First Nations folk then? South Africans studied apartheid in Canada.
We are booing a government who is actively trying to colonize us. We aren't polite we just dropped passive from aggressive for a hockey game.

Yes! A lot of old Cobol programmers made bank(s work) and the risky stuff pretty much all got fixed, factories and airports kept running, and because we funded them and they pulled it off people said it was a folly, which is typical.
